Musical Interlude: I found myself humming this randomly today while doing some stuff around the office...dozens have done this song, but of course, I gravitate to Dinah.
"Makin' Whoopee," performed by Dinah Washington.

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #DentistsAndTeeth. The first thing that came into my mind is Dinah Washington's ode to her dentist, who she would like to visit every day:
Dinah Washington: Long John Blues (1949)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3kwdM_puAsThe song was issued as the flip side of "Baby Get Lost", one of Washington's #1 R&B hits, but it also charted on its own, peaking at #3 on the Billboard R&B Jukebox chart.

“[M]usic was my whole life. It probably still is. I have a little radio behind me in my bed, and I sometimes put on the news. So long as somebody’s talking, I’m writing music in my head. I once wrote a song called “4 am” that came to me when was listening to the radio. I got up at 4:00 in the morning and heard the song in my head.
I had a great marriage. I have great children and great grandchildren. I love them all. But playing music was just as important to me. So was playing with the great players I was able to play with because you’re only as good as what’s behind you.” - Terry Gibbs

Musical Interlude: Who needs Mariah and her omnipresent "All I Want for Christmas is You"? Here we have a song that says similar, but in a jazzier, sultrier way...and it's from one of my personal divas....
"Make Me a Present of You," performed by Dinah Washington

Musical Interlude: Dinah Washington is a longtime favorite; I will ALWAYS pause to listen to anything she sings.
Long ago, in that magic time known as the 90s, I was in an office job where I had a small tape player to play music while I worked. I had just bought a new tape of Dinah Washington songs, and was playing it when a coworker came by to ask me something. He asked me to stop the tape, rewind to the beginning, and wait for him. Puzzled, I complied. He came back with a stack of paperwork, made himself comfortable in an extra chair, and then nodded for me to start playing. And we both sat there, doing our work, listening to Dinah in silence, glancing at each other and smiling in shared pleasure. A favorite memory.
And when is Hollywood going to give us a Dinah Washington biopic?
"Ring-A-My-Phone," performed by Dinah Washington.
